Weather.com Problem?

[Polypro]

10 Day Forcast had duplicate/repeating days (Sun May 11th in both columns, etc...) so I deleted weather_cache.propeties. On Sage re-start it asked for the weather location, but now is showing null/null for days 6-10 (right side column). Not a firewall issue.

I already have a note to myself to look into this -- I think they may have switched to only providing a 5 day forecast. But I need to find out for sure what happened.

I know if you go to the internet, you can get a 10 day forecast at weather.com but maybe you are right if Sage gets it in a different format.

Hmm - it looks like weather.com must have changed their format because it's totally messed up in Sage after day 5. I'm getting what appears to be the next 5 days of weather in May and then 5 days from March. I've attached a screenshot.

I also only see the next five days in the 10 day forecast.

Weather.com has infact changed their system to only allow 5 day forcasts. Many similar systems are experiencing the same problem.

I'm sure it doesn't really matter.. since they are never right anyways.

The public www site still provides a ten day forecast (e.g., http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/20011)

However, I'm not sure if you meant that the 10-day data provided to sage (and others) has been reduced.

[Opus4]

What they show on their web site is not the same info provided via their xml feed. Well, I suppose the basic forecast info should match , but the amount of content available isn't the same.

So do we know if Sage will be addressing this in some sort of quick update??
Next to the Sage PVR functions, my wife uses the Weather module everyday!

At this point, the only 'fix' I know of is to show 5 days of data instead of 10. So, for now, you should simply ignore the 2nd column on the 10 day forecast screen.

This CQC thread has lots of details about it.

[Opus4]

I'm simply changing the right-hand column to show the night forecast for the day to its left... that way, you can get better detail for overnight at a glance.

Andy, how'd you add the night listings? I deleted the orig weather_cache file and now just have NULL null/null for the right hand column. I looked at the prop file, but couldn't figure out what to add.

My solution involves STV editing. The change will be in the next v6.4 beta.

If you want to modify the STV to skip the last 5 days, try this:

change:
DayList = DataUnion("1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9")

to:
DayList = DataUnion("1","2","3","4")

That should just remove the right column.

I replaced this:

<Action Name="DayList = DataUnion(&quot;1&quot;,&quot;2&quot;,&quot;3&quot;,&quot;4&quot;,&quot;5&quot;,&quot;6&quot;,&quot;7&quot;,&quot;8&quot;,&quot;9&quot;)" Sym="BASE-83248">

With this:

<Action Name="DayList = DataUnion(&quot;1&quot;,&quot;2&quot;,&quot;3&quot;,&quot;4&quot;)" Sym="BASE-83248">

In a text editor and then reloaded the STV.

Hmmm ... Was clincking through the 10 day forecast day by day and noticed it went from Wednesday to Saturday??

Wehn I went back to the full screen 10 day I noticed something even more weird ...

Check it out? It goes from tonight (the 17th) to 18, 19, 20, 21, um ... 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 ?

Am I going back the the future?

Any ideas?

You need to read the entire thread. Weather.com, source of the data, changed the rules and no longer provides a 10-day forecast.

My question is- Is it possible to get another source?

Yeah ... I actually posted this seperately. didn't realize there was a Weather.com issue until someone merged it to this thread.

As for source ... How about AccuWeather.com ... They give up to 15 days
